Weighted companion cube quilt

Yep, I know what you’re thinking. What the internet really needs is more pictures of crafts inspired by Portal’s companion cube. If that isn’t what you’re thinking, you may be reading the wrong blog.

This sucker is over 7 feet squared. If anyone else is crazy enough to make this there’s any interest I’d be happy to post a quick how-to. Credit where credit is due: I didn’t use a pattern but I did see a photo online of someone else’s companion cube quilt that inspired me to make my own (thank you, mystery internet person).

For fabric junkies this is actually three colours of the same pattern, so it’s really pretty up close.

Hey I’d really like to make this. Any tips or more pics you could send my way? Many many thanks in advance. Or actually, if you have any other nerdy quilt ideas other than the usual mario, zelda, or pac man, I’m interested :)

For nerdy quilt ideas, I’m planning to make a quilt based on the Fibonacci sequence, but I haven’t found fabric I want to use yet. If you’re feeling really ambitious, there’s an artist named Kate Findlay who makes stunning quilts inspired by the Large Hadron Collider.
